# What's New in Qt 6.0

## Build System Changes in Qt 6

Building Qt from sources now requires CMake and Ninja. See Build System Changes in Qt 6 for more details on this and other changes in configure.

## Changes to Supported Modules

Qt 6.0 is streamlined compared to Qt 5 and some modules are no longer in the default installation of Qt 6.0. Because of the modularized structure of Qt, new modules or previous Qt 5 modules may appear in future releases of Qt 6. For more information, visit the All Modules page.
